The Coming Paradigm Shift In Silver

by BMG Admin on February 11, 2012

It’s easy to be misled by the wealth of information—and misinformation—about precious metals. But investors should be aware that a paradigm shift in silver is coming.

The disintegration of the housing market and banking system was not an isolated episode; it was part of what author Dmitry Orlov calls the Five Stages of Collapse: financial; commercial; political; social and finally cultural.

In Stage One, faith in ‘business as usual’ is lost; this is occurring now. US banks are only functioning because of policy deregulation, monetary printing and market manipulation. The US banking system is based on a financial debt instrument (the dollar), and its fractional reserve ratio is virtually nonexistent. The dollar is no longer backed by gold; instead, it is backed by $15.2 trillion in US Treasury debt.

Manipulation of the precious metals market will cease when Stage Two begins. This is when faith that ‘the market shall provide’ is lost, and this second stage will occur in the next few years.

Silver stands to benefit from the world’s troubles more than gold, because the majority of gold ever mined is stored in vaults across the world. However, due to its dual role as an investment and industrial commodity, a large percentage of the silver ever mined has been consumed in industrial fabrication and lost forever, continuously diminishing its supply and raising its value.

When silver’s paradigm shift comes, St. Angelo predicts a price of $150 per ounce, and provides the rationale behind this forecast. Silver will outperform gold in percentage terms, as it is more affordable to the masses.

To all the silver investors who are purchasing physical on dips he says, be patient; the silver paradigm shift is coming.
